VRS51L3174 (part number VersaKit-31xx) in the future that is based on the VersaKit-30xx (there is a 44-pin QFP footprint under the installed VRS51L3074 on the VersaKit-30xx devboard for this purpose). Users should contact Ramtron for VersaKit-31xx availability. In the short term, code can be developed on the VRS51L3074 and easily ported to the VRS51L3174.
Page 4 Warning: It is mandatory to remove resistor R9 when installing a regulator in position U4. Please refer to the development board schematics at the end of this document for more details about regulator configuration. _______________________________________________________________________________________________ www.ramtron.com page 4 of 28...

Page 10: Overview Of The Vjtag-Usb Interface
The VJTAG-USB board is a USB-based JTAG interface for in-circuit programming and debugging of Ramtron’s VRS51L3074 and other JTAG-based microcontrollers. The VJTAG-USB connects directly to the VersaKit-30xx devboard and can be used on any prototype/production board featuring a Ramtron JTAG based MCU. The following figure depicts the VJTAG-USB interface and its principal features.

Page 14: Development Kit Setup For Vrs51L3074 Evaluation
The VRS51L3074 includes a Versa-JTAG programming/debugging interface port, accessed via the 5x2 header at position H2 (JTAG) on the development board. To evaluate the VRS51L3074, use the VersaKit-30xx VJTAG-USB to interface with Ramtron’s Windows®-based Versa Ware JTAG programming/debugging software.

Page 15 Figure 18: Connecting the power supply to the development board then the USB Cable to the VJTAG-USB Warning: Do not remove the VJTAG-USB board from the development board without first disconnecting the USB cable. This may cause the Windows® OS to become unstable, requiring a computer reboot. _______________________________________________________________________________________________ www.ramtron.com page 15 of 28...
Page 16 Versa Ware JTAG Debugger The Versa Ware JTAG Debugger is a user interface that links the in-circuit debugger and the source code. All Ramtron MCUs with a JTAG interface include an integrated debugger that enables in-application debugging of the device via its JTAG interface.
Page 17 As with most software/driver installations, we suggest creating a System Restore point before running the setup. To install Versa Ware JTAG, run the Versa_Ware_JTAG_3x_SETUP.exe file available for download on the Ramtron Web site and follow the instructions provided by the installation wizard.
